Our soul

By baddream - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, at my grandmother's funeral I tried my hardest not to cry, only allowing tears to fall and not making any noise, to be respectful at her funeral. Afterwards, my mother tells my father that I didn't cry, which obviously meant that I didn't love my grandmother and had no soul. FML

It's a funeral, you're allowed to cry. Why would being upset at a funeral be disrespectful?

Did she not notice any tears falling? Sorry for your loss.

don't even worry about it. sometimes people keep in the emotions because thats just how they deal the best way. My gramma died recently too, i loved her SO much but i just didnt cry at her funeral either. I did on my own time lol. also, that should be the LAST thing your parents should say to you, especially since YOU'RE suffering too and your emotions are overloaded as well.

I'm a bit confused as to how people are misinterpreting the part about being respectful. It's not that crying is disrespectful. The OP felt that making noise while crying would be disrespectful. Either way, that is a terrible thing for your mother to have said.

My grandpa just passed away and I was trying to be strong not to cry and my parents thought the same.

It took 6 years before I cried about my grandmother's death last year. It's been almost 5 years since my grandfather died, and I still haven't cried. And I probably won't cry when my uncle dies. Which will probably be very soon. Some people just don't cry. Your mom was probably upset, which made her say that. My mom got mad at everyone when her dad died, and she'll probably do it again when my uncle dies. In a few days, tell her how that made you feel. She probably didn't mean it. And I'm very sorry about your loss.

Because some people start to sob and scream and make a scene... It's nothing they can control (Well, unless they're idiots who want to prove that they grieve more than someone else), but some people might find it disrespectful... Idk.

Holding back tears at a funeral??? Well that's logical...

Your mom's a bitch... you don't always cry by the death of a loved one, even if you truly truly love them... It depends on the person, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt or feel bad. And, yes,I know you would have cried, I'm just saying her logic is illogical.
